Starting a business in India involves a series of decisions and registrations that must be made in the right order. The first — and most important — is choosing the right legal structure. The wrong choice at inception can limit fundraising options, create unnecessary tax burden, or expose founders to personal liability. Once the structure is decided, incorporation, tax registrations, licences, and banking must all be set up correctly before operations begin.

Our Setup Assistance service is designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and foreign companies who want a single point of contact for the complete business setup process. We start with a structured consultation to understand your business model, revenue projections, ownership, and compliance budget — and then recommend the most suitable structure. We handle every step from that point: entity registration, PAN, GST, Udyam (MSME), Import Export Code, Shop and Establishment Act licence, bank account opening documentation, accounting software setup, and TDS registration.

Once your business is operational, we set up a compliance calendar covering MCA annual filings, GST returns, TDS filings, advance tax instalments, and income tax returns — so you never miss a deadline. Our goal is to ensure your business is set up on a solid legal and financial foundation from day one, with minimal friction and maximum clarity on ongoing obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business setup assistance covers the complete journey from choosing the right legal structure (Pvt Ltd, LLP, OPC, Proprietorship, Partnership) to incorporation, obtaining all required registrations (GST, Udyam, IEC, Shop Act), opening a bank account, setting up accounting systems, and establishing a compliance calendar for tax and MCA filings.
The choice depends on liability protection needed, number of founders, funding plans, compliance budget, and taxation. A Private Limited Company is ideal for funded startups and businesses with multiple shareholders. An LLP suits professionals and service businesses wanting limited liability with lower compliance. A Proprietorship is simplest for solo operators with modest turnover and no liability concerns. We assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate structure.
The registrations depend on the business type and sector, but typically include: entity registration (company/LLP/firm), PAN, GST registration, Udyam (MSME) registration, Shops and Establishments licence, Import Export Code (if trading internationally), Professional Tax registration (state-specific), and EPF/ESIC registration (if employees are hired). Sector-specific licences (FSSAI, drug licence, NBFC licence) may also be required.
A Private Limited Company or LLP can be incorporated in 7–15 working days. GST registration takes 5–7 working days. Udyam registration is instant. Opening a bank current account typically takes 3–7 business days after all KYC documents are submitted. The complete setup — entity registration, all licences, and bank account — is typically completed within 3–4 weeks.
For a Private Limited Company, the bank typically requires the Certificate of Incorporation, MOA and AOA, PAN card of the company, board resolution authorising account opening, and KYC of all directors. For a proprietorship, GST certificate and Udyam or Shop Act licence (minimum two registrations) plus the proprietor's PAN and Aadhaar are needed.
While some registrations can be done independently, a CA ensures the legal structure is chosen correctly, the MOA/AOA and Partnership Deed are properly drafted, all tax registrations are set up efficiently, and the business starts with a sound compliance framework. Errors at setup — wrong structure, wrong capital, missing registrations — are costly to correct later. A CA-assisted setup typically costs far less than fixing problems after the fact.
